sheesh....anything else you care to share??

roofrack, skidplates, lockers, comfortable bed, hmm - i think that's it... ;-)

 

[jeepmedic46]

Those are good things indeed.:smiley_drive:

 

[Zeero]

Hahaha....well, those things I have. I get envious over little things, like the diesel and the newly found headlight adjusters....:sombrero:

:bike_rider:well, that are all factory items - not my fault.

Hahaha. Yes, it is your fault!! I WANT HEADLIGHT ADJUSTERS!!! :sombrero:

 

[XXXpedition]

i could send you the head light adjustor switch...:elkgrin::elkgrin:

 

[XXXpedition]

well, i finally finished the roofrack and FINALLY dropped it off for sandblasting...
or actually it's blasted with steel (is that what beadblasting is?)

and then it gets primered with a slatwater resistant paint:victory:

can't wait to get it back!!!
then bolt on the boxes, the lights, mount the spare cans, etc.

and then only the tires are missing. (hope to get that sorted out this month!)
cheers

i finally installed the snorkel.
i do like the aev one and that's what i got!

the install is easy (you can check it on my website)

and before i get any stupid questions: yes the rivet gun broke so i zip tied the trim ring in the meantime...

Well if thats how the paint job turned out on your rack I would get your money back

Hows the rack going as for rubbing on the paint work where it hangs on the tub??
I want to make one the same as yours but with out the front part just to hold my RTT, but the rubbing issue has me worried as the rack wont be mounted on the jeep all the time.

Sweet.:wings:

that's before the beadblasting
i'll pick it up next week! and it's only 40 bucks :victory:

i put the rack on rubber pieces. i used an old bicycle tube and cut it to the right size. it's very tough and thin!
i have no paint problems underneath. it works great!

The Old One

Hey Sven, Hmmm starting to look a bit like the old rig (have any idea what happened to that one in AU?) with the light boxes and the snorkel...looking forward to more....I never asked what size tires? w/ the lift and tires this rig just might look like the old one......O yeah large sponsor decals too.
Did you screen the back doors?
Dee :smiley_drive:

 

[XXXpedition]

yep, it's the intension to take design elements from the old jeep and use it here too - sort of a trademark
tires should be 34-35"
decals will be different.
rear doors are screened.
more pics to follow...

the old xj got cut up in oz and transformed into an off-road camper trailer. (can't find a pic though)
looks pretty neat!

[XXXpedition]

because several people have been asking and i could never find a pic, i searched the web a bit...
here's what the old XXXpedition rig looks like now:
(the good parts are on another xj now)

i'm talking about the rear thingy
you still see the limo tinted windows and some of our decals...
